SPICY GARLIC BREAD SLOPPY JOES
This recipe uses three types of fresh chile. When preparing the chiles, it's usual to remove the seeds and the membrane as that is where the most intense heat lies. Of course, if you like your food super-hot and spicy, add the seeds and the membrane too!

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef and brown, seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain off all but a couple tablespoons of the fat.
- Add the onion, chiles, garlic and tomato paste to the pot. Stir and cook for a minute to combine and cook the tomato paste slightly. Add the stock, ketchup, balsamic glaze, brown sugar, chili powder and mustard. Season with another pinch of salt and pepper. Stir to combine, cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 10 to 12 minutes to deepen the flavor.
- Meanwhile, bake the garlic bread according to the package instructions on a sheet pan lined with foil. Remove from the oven then preheat the broiler.
- Taste the meat mixture and adjust seasoning as needed. Divide the meat mixture over the top of the baked garlic bread. Next, top each with two slices of the provolone. Broil until the cheese has melted and browned, about 2 minutes.
- Garnish with the chopped parsley and serve.
THE BEST SLOPPY JOES
This is weeknight comfort food at its finest. We created a homemade sauce that is tangy and flavorful but also quick and easy. We used both ketchup and canned tomato sauce for lots of tomato-y zip and just a touch of brown sugar for a bit of sweetness and slight caramel finish. Green bell pepper is a key addition; it really enhances the other ingredients, elevating the flavor profile into the realm of a true sloppy joe.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and starting to caramelize in some spots, 6 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the beef and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon or spatula, until it is browned, no longer pink in the middle and cooked through, 7 to 8 minutes.
- Stir in the tomato sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, red wine vinegar, paprika, cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of black pepper and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened and heated through, 5 to 6 minutes. Spoon the meat onto the toasted buns.

QUICK & EASY SLOPPY JOES
Had a craving for them...so I whipped up this recipe by combining several things from the top recipes I could find. There's no need to follow the directions exactly, I'm just giving you the details of what I had on hand. Also, this meal is pretty lean, considering the choice of meat and the fact that it is well drained after browning. This meal can be served as is on a bun or over a hot dog and sprinkled with shredded cheese.
